Does Sheryl Sandberg truly deserve her position as Facebook COO?

[Smaug]

She got it through affirmative action and feminist pressure to hire women just for the sake of putting woman as one of the directors.

With rampant affirmative action for women nowadays, how do I know whether a woman truly deserves her job anymore?
True: I'm against women who got their job through affirmative actions as normal human beings would.

Why? What have you got against her? I hope that if she can't do the job, she will be fired.

Edit: Could you provide evidence that says she was chosen because she was a woman?
In this video she says that affirmative action in the West damages feminism.

The bosy woman? I quited facebook ever since the early days of instagram, she seems lame.

Prove how she got it through affirmative action

"Does Sheryl Sandberg truly deserve her position as Facebook COO?"

Frankly, I don't know if her professional qualifications make her deserving or not. All I can do is assume that those in charge at Facebook had all sorts of options, even if they determined they'd be hiring a woman for the position, and decided that she was the one who brought the most to the table...so in that sense, sure she does.

"She got it through affirmative action and feminist pressure to hire women just for the sake of putting woman as one of the directors."

Well I don't know if that was done officially, but I have to say...I found her decision to reprimand her son for calling his sister "bossy" to be a rather blatant and obnoxious example of favoritism...and I also get the sense that when her daughter is of age to digest some of feminism's more vitriolic anti-male messages, she won't be as black and white with the "rules" when her daughter starts to use them against her son.

"With rampant affirmative action for women nowadays, how do I know whether a woman truly deserves her job anymore?"

I'm totally opposed to affirmative action as well, but as True Blue Brith and Leo D (both of whom I normally disagree with) says, before you can really condemn her for being a benefactor of "rampant affirmative action," you have to prove that she in fact did benefit from it.

When I was in management with a company shortly after coming out of university, what I found was that young women who were more qualified than some of their male counterparts...were simply not applying for promotions.

I practically begged one young woman to apply for a promotion...and she'd have none of it. I couldn't guarantee her that she'd get the job...but I felt good about the benefits she brought to the position, and ironically even tried to encourage my female senior manager to encourage her...only to be rebuffed.

I'm anti-affirmative action, more pro-rigid investigation of complaints of on the job discrimination, and yet even I won't go as far as to accuse a woman in a management position (or any other position for that matter) of being an automatic beneficiary of "beneficial" sexism.

Here here!

Same goes for men who fail in their positions as well.

Sadly I think the reality is the wealthy are connected enough that they get away with making bad decisions that the poor and middle class never do!
